So I had been going to the hairdressers at Buff Nail Lounge for around a year - generally getting my hair trimmed and blonde highlights added.
I decided to dye my blonde hair red, which I did myself - and maintained it for around 3 months.
However, I was getting bored of the colour, and went back to the 'salon' to get my hair dyed back to blonde.
The 'hairdresser' didn't seem to think that would be a problem, and started putting extreme amounts of high percentage bleach on my hair. She kept checking it and saying 'no...we need to put more on.'
Now call me naive...I assumed she knew what she was doing.
Until....my scalp was burning so much I was crying from the pain - and she combed my hair AND IT WAS FALLING OUT!!!!
End result being: I lost half my hair, the rest of it was in such a poor condition it didn't even resemble human hair, and my scalp was so burnt I couldn't sleep on it for days and it's constantly dry. Oh, and my hair turned orange.
Do you know what she said to me?? Well, you know, you should never dye your own hair....this is what happens.... Are you serious??!!
I just want to stress to ANYONE thinking of getting their hair dyed there...DON'T DO IT!! 6 months on and my hair is so short (had to go to a respectable hairdressers to get it all chopped off) and I still haven't managed to grow out all the dead ends. Oh, and it's still not blonde!!
Pretty crappy way to learn the hard way...however I now know to pay a bit more and go to a decent salon! Don't do it guys - they don't know what they're doing!!!!
